/** <module> Authenticate HTTP connections using 401 headers
This module provides the basics to validate an HTTP =Authorization=
error. User and password information are read from a Unix/Apache
compatible password file. This information, as well as the validation
process is cached to achieve optimal performance.

%% http_authenticate(+Type, +Request, -Fields)
%
% True if Request contains the information to continue according
% to Type. Type identifies the required authentication technique:
%
% * basic(+PasswordFile)
% Use HTTP =Basic= authetication and verify the password
% from PasswordFile. PasswordFile is a file holding
% usernames and passwords in a format compatible to
% Unix and Apache. Each line is record with =|:|=
% separated fields. The first field is the username and
% the second the password _hash_. Password hashes are
% validated using crypt/2.
%
% Successful authorization is cached for 60 seconds to avoid
% overhead of decoding and lookup of the user and password data.
%
% http_authenticate/3 just validates the header. If authorization
% is not provided the browser must be challenged, in response to
% which it normally opens a user-password dialogue. Example code
% realising this is below. The exception causes the HTTP wrapper
% code to generate an HTTP 401 reply.
